Re: More on Texas “non-citizens”
quote:
Sticking with the example of Harris County, if they've established that 60% of the original list are now naturalized citizens, doesn't that mean that 40% (12,000 people) are not? Or does it just mean they don't know yet?
It means that there 60% of the people on the list there didn’t need to be investigated. The rest are still in question, but nothing is proven yet.
quote:
12,000 is a lot of people in a county, especially if that's the number of non-citizens registered to vote, though it's probably in the neighborhood of only 0.5% of total registered voters - population of Harris County is around 4.7 million.
It’s a little over 0.25% given those figures. But we don’t know that any of them are non-citizens. And we certainly don’t know if any of those who are, actually voted.
And it seems there were shenanigans there in 2017 Texas Monthly

Re: El Paso Needs a Wall
It already has a fence.
He said the Texan city of El Paso - on the Mexican border - "was one of the most dangerous cities in the country", until a barrier went up.
This is false.
A stretch of fence was constructed there between 2008 and 2009, which appears to be the moment the president is referring to.
In the years immediately before the barrier went up, El Paso had one of the lowest crime rates among the 50 largest cities in the US, according to FBI statistics.

Something rotten in the State of Georgia?
The Root reports new evidence of election fraud.
The number of voters making a selection for the lieutenant governor was unusually low. And especially low in precincts where Blacks are a majority. And it’s not just that voters simply chose to vote for Governor and skip the other positions - votes for lower positions did not show the same drop-off.
The number of votes missing (even allowing for the expected drop off) seems to be just about enough to swing the election for this post (likely enough to make it a close call). On top of all the other issues, that is very worrying.

...And North Carolina
As reported by Wonkette
Isn’t it odd that whenever we see actual evidence of electoral fraud it’s always the Republicans ?

Re: ...And North Carolina
Reuters reports that there will be a new election.
I’ve heard that the Republican primary will be rerun because the same candidate cheated there, too.

Re: Trump collusion lying accusation continues
quote:
Trump had nothing to do with any collusion, which ought to have been sufficiently established when the Mueller report came out,
The report has not been released yet and there is no reason to think that it proves that there was no collusion. Barr would certainly have made stronger remarks than he did if that were the case.
And we certainly can’t be sure that there isn’t evidence that was not available to Mueller.
Not to mention that Trump might well want to suppress even evidence of the Russian support for his campaign.
quote:
and this neverending insinuation that he has something to hide is the usual disgusting Leftist fake news, aka lie
That’s exactly what you would say if you thought Trump did have something to hide.
quote:
The only collusion with Russia was Hillary's own attempt to interfere with T
We know that the Russians took Trump’s side - notably the leak of the stolen DNC emails, released via Wikileaks.

Re: More attacks on the nation
I guess you think that when Jesus said (as he supposedly did) "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." he meant that he wanted to go first.

Not only will Faith believe it without doing any checks, if anyone else does do the checks and exposes the falsehoods she’ll go off on a rant about “smears”.

Did you actually listen to that ? Thanks for providing evidence that Trump takes the side of white supremacists.

Re: The fake news about Charlottesville answered again
The protestors at Charlottesville were the “Unite the Right” rally. Organised by a White Supremacist. Packed with assorted flavours of White Supremacist. And Trump took their side over the counter-protestors. That is absolutely clear.

Re: The fake news about Charlottesville answered again
From what I’ve read even the Proud Boys kept away. Associating with open neo-Nazis was too much even for them. Which proves my point, really. Any people wanting to preserve the statue for purely historical value - and not because it’s the statue of a racist famous for fighting for slavery - would stay well away from the “Unite the Right” crowd.

Re: The fake news about Charlottesville answered again

TRUMP WAS VERY CLEAR THAT HE WAS NOT TALING ABOUT WHITE SUPREMACISTS NO MATTER WHAT YOU LEFTIST LYING CREEPS THINK.
Trump was clearly talking about the Unite the Right rally. We know that he tried to blame the violence on the left (which wasn’t true) - that’s on the video. And that alone shows him taking the side of the White Supremacists.
We also know that the Unite the Right rally was organised by a White Supremacist and included people who were openly Nazis. We do not know that there was anybody interested in simply preserving the statue for historical value. Nor does there seem to be a good reason for any such people to get involved in this particular protest - but there were good reasons for them to stay away.

You are fond of accusing others of lying. But you can’t point to a single lie in my post.

The Left came there without a permit and contributed to the violence
See - even you know that the Left wasn’t solely responsible for the violence. (And the “Left” included Charlottesville residents who didn’t want White Supremacists marching down their streets)

you evil lying Leftist creep. Liar, idiot, creep, liar liar liar.
Sure Faith. You just go on proving that it’s the Right who go in for lies and smears.

Re: The fake news about Charlottesville answered again
From an article cited in another thread.
When asked by reporters on Friday if he stood by the comments, Trump responded: “I’ve answered that question and if you look at what I said you will see that that question was answered perfectly, and I was talking about people that went [to the Charlottesville Unite the Right rally] because they felt very strongly about the monument to Robert E. Lee, a great [Confederate] general.”
So racists become “very fine people” if they stand up for the statue of a racist who fought for slavery. Seems like the “perfect” answer - to support what we’ve been saying.
